I assume this means Sherman in Georgia and Sheridan in the Shenandoah.
Sherman's campaign was far more orderly than it has been given credit for. The orders were to destroy farms in order to starve the Confederate armies in the field. Assaults on the person were strictly forbidden, and where these occurred, it was usually at the hands of the lawless mounted "bummers", who followed the army just for the fun of it. This 'March to the Sea' undoubtedly hastened the end of the war, at minimal bloodshed. Why it earned Sherman such a reputation for brutality is not clear.
In the Shenandoah, things were a little uglier. A lot of guerrilla fighters were picking-off Union troops, and reprisals were frequent. But the net result was the same - Confederate armies that were barefoot and starving by the time of the surrender.
